Upcoming Events

Hey guides and leaders, how would you like to do a real life Pokemon GO / adventure race?

On Sunday afternoons from October 13 to December 15, orienteering clubs will be putting on events along Botany Bay and the Cooks River that are ideal for beginners and experienced orienteers.

Each week is in a neighbouring location, so you are never too far from the previous event – but with a new area to explore. The navigation is of an easy standard and you won’t need a compass (although it can be handy sometimes). Map samples are below.

You may start any time between 4-5pm. Courses close at 6pm. You could use this activity to earn badges or just do it as a fun activity with your Unit. There are 4 courses on offer.

Equipment supplied – you just have to rock up.

We recommend groups of 2-4. The cost is $5 per Guide. Accompanying adults are free.

If you intend to participate, please bear in mind the following tips for a successful outing:

let us know a few days in advance how many people (leaders/parents + children) will be participating and which course you’d like to do. This way we can be sure to print enough maps (everyone gets one!)

if you know who’s coming, please provide the names of the people in each group in advance and we can do a lot of the rego prior to the event (saving a lot of time on the day)

Feel free to contact us at any time for more information. You can find out how orienteering works in these great UK intro videos here.

As you are aware the Kirrawee Gang Show Gang have been very busy the last few months getting ready to put on their 60th Anniversary Show. This performance involves over 80 cast members and 150 back stage helpers so please support our guiding members of South Sydney Rivers Region by helping promote and attending the show.

Kirrawee Gang Show is an amazing live theatrical performance of song, dance and comedy. The cast of over 80 members will be performing a brand new show and one you won’t want to miss. So, book your tickets now for your group or yourself!!!

It would be great to include one of the performances in your term program. You never know, you may have some members of your district who would love to be involved in the next show but didn’t know what KGS is all about!
